About our bath re-enamelling in Ystalyfera
Resurfacing renews the whole surface of the bath without taking anything out. It suits baths that are dull, stained, rough or chipped all over. Common call-outs are for a bath that stays dull however much you clean it and an outdated colour you’d like to change, across cast iron baths, basins & shower trays and pressed steel baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it.

What your bath is made of matters
Acrylic
Acrylic is light and warm to the touch, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Steel baths re-enamel well, once any rust has been treated. Rust around the waste is common on steel, so we pay close attention there.

Why repair rather than replace?
A new bath means a plumber, removing a heavy bath, re-tiling or making good the walls and days without a bathroom. Resurfacing gives the bath a new finish with the bath left where it is. Resurfacing from £350, with every job priced individually. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ystalyfera. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ystalyfera as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Common questions in Ystalyfera
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Can a failed resurfacing be redone?
Yes, we do this regularly. Removing the old finish takes extra time, which we include in the price.
How do I get a price for bath re-enamelling in Ystalyfera?
Prices start from £350. We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your SA9 postcode.
Does the bath have to be removed?
No. We resurface it in place, so nothing else is disturbed.
Can you repair several things at once?
Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.
What areas do you cover?
Across the UK, so Ystalyfera is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
How it works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a full day. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- The bathroom is protected and ventilation set up.
- We remove the old silicone and deep clean the bath.
- Chips, rust and pitting are repaired.
- The surface is keyed and primed for the new finish.
- Several coats of finish are sprayed on, then it cures until the next day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
